Many of you have expressed concerns about the starting state and flow of the game. This is a big step towards improving that, but please let me know if there are any other issues or concerns and the overall feel.
From what I’ve gathered, there were mainly two problems. For many players, the difficulty and the feeling that the starting objectives led them towards failure. The intention with this patch is to fix that.
The second major issue is that I believe many players never noticed that all the highlighted text in the objectives is actually clickable. For example, if you are asked to research something, clicking the highlighted text will show you exactly where to find it. With this update, it should be much harder to miss out on that fact (hopefully).
